I think the biggest piece of evidence the author presents is the movement and melting of the glacier. She talks about how the glaciers melt each year but in recent years the one she is on has shrunk hundreds of feet. The Keeling Curve is also good evidence of the rising CO2 levels in our atmosphere.
It is good evidence but there really isn't anything to compare it to and why it is such a bad thing. I did like the prediction made by Arrhenius about how people in the future would be living under a warmer sky, but I feel that the way I read it...living under a warmer sky is a good thing.
Her writing puts me to sleep to be honest. I really have no interest in the topic of global warming. I feel like she has just taken a side and wants to make sure all her readers believe at the end of the book that global warming is here and it is all our fault. I am sure that some people would enjoy this book, but I find it boring. There is really nothing we can do to absolutely stop global warming and even if there was, I am sure there wouldn't be enough people on board in the world to stop it.
